I’ve been without a computer so tough to update. But here is one from my phone. Last few days fishing was tough for me. We went in the backcountry and plenty of shark action. But only 3 tarpon bites in last 2 days we missed all 3 unfortunately. Today we made up for it. We caught 4 out of 7 tarpon on live and dead bait. Live bait bites were funny no busting or cheap shooting, they simply ate and ran! We had action in 4 different spots we fished on both incoming and falling tide. April is getting back to normal hopefully the weather stays nice. 0 for 2. 0 for 1. 4 for 7.

We caught a couple nice tarpon this morning. Had to work hard for bait this morning the mullets were tough. Wind was still blowing North and chilly water in the low 70s. We happened across a few mullet and we’re able to catch a half dozen. We ran around some local bridges and found a few tarpon. With the last of the incoming tide the water had warmed up a little bit to 75. We had action fairly quick and lost a few mullet to cuban and tarpon knocking them off. But finally hooked and landed 2 fish of about 80 lbs each. Great half day in tough conditions. 2 for 2

March is almost over and unfortunately so is the flat calm gorgeous weather window we had.  Yesterday it kicked up out of the southwest as we had an approaching cold front.  It didn’t get too cold thankfully last night but tonight it looks to drop down to 60 or so.  But it was still blowing 20-25 mph out of the North this morning.  Anyways we cut our day to a half day and fished mostly out on the patch reefs out front.  We were able to get plenty for dinner including some nice porgy, a few choice hogfish, and a couple big yellow bar jacks that fought well!  We just tried the tarpon for the last hour.  We found a few in a little area where one of the channels dump out into another channel. We set up and had some shark activity, and eventually hooked a nice little 35 lb tarpon.  Landed him and called it a day.  I’m taking another day off tomorrow and looks to be a a good one to take off with the cold weather we’ll be getting tonight and the high winds likely tomorrow.  1 for 1
